#The Friendly 5

The Ultimate Story the Beginnings Chapter 16-The Birth of the Friendly 5

Within the next several days, Misty, Bubbles, Ribbon and Peach got to know their new friend, Bow. They spent a lot of hours talking to her about each other as she talked about herself. They had a lot of fun talking to each other and spent a great deal of time getting to know each other better. They talked about everything that they have been through, including finding Misty and awakening her dormant powers, as well as telling her about Misty’s fairy and princess training. She was also comfortable enough to show Bow her secret transformation powers and told her to keep them a secret, with Bow gladly obliged. The 5 of them were soon becoming very close friends.

As Fox watched Misty and the girls mingle with one another, he felt happy for her. He continued watching them day by day. One day, they approached him. Misty: “Hi, Fox.” Fox: “Hey, Misty. What’s up?” Misty: “Well, the 5 of us have so much in common. We’re sweet.” Bubbles: “We’re friendly.” Ribbon: “We’re fun-loving.” Peach: “We’re courteous.” Bow: “And we’re full of surprises.” Misty: “We enjoy our time together so much that we decided to form a group together.” Fox: “Sounds great. So what are you going to call your group?” Misty: “Well, we have been trying to find a name that would confirm our common qualities. Since we all have friendly personalities, we have decided that we would call ourselves (with Bubbles, Ribbon, Peach and Bow) The Friendly 5.” Fox: “That’s great. I’m so glad to see that you girls are having so much fun.” Bubbles: “We are.” Ribbon: “We were able to find out so much about each other.” Peach: “Each of us have been through so much and we all want an opportunity to have some fun.” Fox: “You know what? I will support you girls with anything that you want to do.” Bubbles: “Sounds great.” Peach: “We knew that you would say that, so we want you to be the first ever Friendly 5 supporter.” Fox: “Really?” Misty: “Sure, you have been so encouraging towards me during my fairy and princess trainings. I would love it if you would become our supporter. You mean so much to me.” Fox: “Gee, thanks, Misty. But nothing would make me happier than to see you surround yourself with things that bring you so much joy.” Misty: “Aw, Fox.”

As they smiled at each other, Peach definitely began to notice something.

Later on, they talked to Fox about all of the wonderful things that they wanted to do together. They told him that they want to make people happy with their cheerfulness. They also loved to throw parties, which is something Fox thought was a wonderful idea. As they continued on, they showed him some dance moves they did together. They also planned on singing as a group, which he was all for. He felt that the girls deserved to have some fun, especially Misty, who has been very busy with her training. He knew very little about singing and dancing, but is more than willing to help them out however he could. He helped a lot with building their confidence, telling them that what they are doing is great. He feels that one day, they will become great crowd pleasers.

However, not everyone is impressed by the Friendly 5. Buttercup stood by and watched all of it, sick to her stomach. She was not a huge fan of everything that they represent. Buttercup: “Ugh, how corny.”

Falco wasn’t completely thrilled by it, either. Falco: “I know, I can’t believe Fox is actually into this.” Buttercup: “Looks as if your “fearless leader” is all over her and everything that she does.” Falco: “I know, ever since they first met, he’s been following her, like some sort of…” Buttercup: “Lovesick lapdog?” Falco: “I…wouldn’t use those words but I see where you’re going on this.” Blossom: “I don’t know.”

Blossom and Peppy appeared right next to them. Blossom: “They seem pretty happy.” Peppy: “Yes, in fact, this is the happiest I have ever seen Fox.” Buttercup: “He’s hardly ever this happy?” Falco: “Not since he parted with that friend of his. He hardly ever talks about who this friend of his is.”

Lisa and Maggie also observed them. She felt sad for what Fox has been going through and guilty that she still could not find the friend of Fox’s they were talking about. Maggie: “Lisa?” Lisa: “I hope we’re able to find her. I know Misty will succeed in ways I have failed.” Maggie: “You still don’t know where she?”

Lisa paused for a minute. Lisa: “All I know is she can be found on Earth.”

Hey, I started reading Robin son of Batman because of your recommendation (I literally have a print of your post on my phone to not forget lol). Honestly? One of the best things I ever read!!!

Thank you for opening my eyes! Damian has been one of my favorite characters for over a year, but I didn't read/watch much of him because of school, life (and probably an executive dysfunction in the mix).

Maya is incredible. I loved her.

I haven't finished all the issues yet, but do you have any other recommendations?

WAH this makes me so happy, i'm glad you still gave it a shot even with how busy life is!! ;v;

i’d love to give reccs, and i’ll try to go a beginner friendly route! tbh you can pick up whatever here, but since you've read R:SOB i’d immediately follow up with Batman and Robin (2011) #1-8! this first arc is what’s referred to in Maya’s introduction, and it's just. so good.

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1-10

events leading to Damian's death - affects Batman and Robin (2011) from issue #18
